The county of Manitowoc is not con-
tent to let the city have all the boom and
IN consequence iron ore is being found.
The latest find of this kind is in Franklin
on the farm of Max Boehm, about three
miles north from Cato. Mr.. Boehm's
farm is on the Branch River. a stream
which in that section runs through a
broken country. That part of the farm
IN which the iron has been found. was no
good for crops and was but little culti-
waited. A miner from Negaunee, Mich,
CHANGED to be out in that locality and

A FARMER strayed into the Williams
House office one day this week, who was
bibulously inclined. He scanned the
Office register and then allowed his gaze
to wander where thirsty mortals find that
for which their threats crave. There was
no liquor in sight and the man again
took a look at the counter which plainly
resembled bar. Then light broke in
on him and with gesture of disgust he
walked toward the door saying, Zach! it's

The district attorney yesterday morn
of Mishicott dismissed. There was no
evidence on which Voelkert could be held
He presented receipts showing that he
had paid principal and interest except
$3.50. This was the amount paid over at
the registers Office and all agree that
VOelkert was to retain $50 because of the
note. He took the money believing it to
his. OF course the other parties believed
it had been stolen and when the officer
went in pursuit of Noelkert, the latter
became frightened and undertook to get
the money back IN roundabout way,
thus clearly giving ground for suspicion.
Had he told a straightforward story to
begin with he would have had no trouble.

"SELLING OUT AT COST"

"SELLING OUT AT COST
is generally the last resort to
draw custom, but not always a
successful one. Some Of our
business men have advertised
all over the country: Selling
Out at Cost-No Humbug."
Was it a Humbug?
We are not advertising to
sell out, or that we sell "beloW
cost" or give goods away be
cause we do not think that any
reader believes such WIND
that any business house sells
goods below cost. Further
more, we do not have to put a
lot of wind in the papers to
draw custom, for every body
knows us and our business is
steadily increasing. Asst costs
considerable money to adver-
tise, we shall advertise but little
in the future and give our Gus
toners the benefit of the money
thus saved. We keep our prices
a little BELOW those of our com
petitors, even though they sell
below cost. Get our prices on
anything, even if you do not
wish to buy yet.

THE number of vessels in here the past
week has made sharpers quite numerous.
One of them lately tried a little trick on
Fred Hinrichs which did not work. The
fellow had secured possession of bottle
of cod liver oil which had been sold to a
Branch man. He found from the label
that it was sold at Hinrichs and he
brought the bottle to the store saying
that his shipmate did not want the stuff
and would return it for half price. Fred
was not green enough to be bitten and
the fellow went off having neither the half
price or the bottle.

4 NOVEL RELIGIOUS MoTEMEYT.

The election Of General Missioner for SO
conservative n religious communion as the
Protestant Episcopal Church is n novel and
interesting event. The Advent Mission in this
city toward the close Of 1850 was the first at
tempt to adapt the revival system 10 that com
munion. In England a ilourshing society had
lccn in existence for many years with the
definite aim OF promoting religious activity
in parishes through periodical missions. THIS
agency had been employed in every great cen
ire Of population in the United Kingdom with
remarkable results. When tho English mis-
sioners opened their campaign in New DIRK
similar society was formed a. a staff for con
Quoting revival movements in future. This
Parochial Mission Society after years ex-
pericncc has become convinced that work
equal in magnitude 10 that which has been ac-
complished in England can safely and wisely
bc undertaken here. it has arranged a per
mancnt basis of organization, and has elected
one of the most active and influential clergy
men in Brooklyn rs General Missioner.
The adoption Of this system involves the en-
ploymcnt of various agencies and cNpcdients
heretofore discountcnanced by that commun-
ion. The after-mcctng cxtcmporancous pray
CT, new and more emotional hymnoogy. and
direct methods Of appealing 10 individual con
sciences, are included in various branches OF
mission work. All these things would have
been condemned as "ultra-evangclical not
many years ago in the Protestant Episcopal
Church. A representative High Church rector
now becomes the first General Missioner and
his recent success In conducting similar ser
vices in a diocese ordinarily classed as "Low .

schools of thought 10 genuine revival work.

DEMOCRACY AND TIE CROSBY BILL

DEMOCRACY AND TIE CROSBY BILL
The Crosby liquor bill now pending in the
Legislature has for its bcneficent object the
promotion of the public welfare. 1t has no
other object. 1t is aimed at what is concededly
the greatest curse OF our Sta'e-tbe drink evil
II commends itself to tho philanthropst tho
fewer the liquor-saloons the fewer the tempta-
tons TO the paths that lead TO sin. 1t COM
mcnds itself to the taxpayer-to restrict the
sale Of rum is TO lower the tax rate. II com
mends itself to all friends of law and order
where groggeries abound the police have the
most to do and the jails have the largest pop
ulations In q word, no measure has been in
troduced this session whose passage is so well
calculated TO confer as great and many-sidcd
benefit upon the people of Ncw-l DIRK and
Bi ooklyn as the Crosby bill.
Nevertheless. the Democratic party In and
out Of the Legislature are opposed TO it, Not
Democratic newspaper in the State, with one
or two exceptions so far as we are aware, has
contained word in It's favor. We have yet to
hear of any active Democratic politician from
Governor Hill down. using his influence 10 gain
II supporters. No sooner had il been reported
favor ably from the Excise Committee to the
Assembly last month than a Democratic mem
Der moved to return il. TheIcupon, "a if the
bill was partisan in its nature and distinctive
ly Republican measure, every Democratic mcm-
Der present supported the motion Since this
significant vote was taken no change has been
reported in the attitude of the Demo crazy
toward this leading reform bill of the
year. On the test vote last night
every Democrat present voted against il.
IL is barely possible, so say the most hopeful
that two or three Democratic Asscmblymcn
will vote for it on it's final passage But close

In thus presenting solid front in opposition
to wcllconceived and entirely practical at
tempt TO serve the cause of public virtue and
